Its a pain in the ass to have a bunch of different 401k account across different providers, and they all charge fees. It's better to roll them all into an IRA at a regular brokerage.

Aren’t the fees percentage-based, though? Also, can I have my new employer’s matching contributions go into a regular brokerage account of my choosing instead of their default platform? Or is it better to roll all my old 401(k)s into an IRA with a brokerage I like, and just let the current employer’s 401(k) stay with whatever provider they use?

Current employer contributions will only go into their 401kkk

Advantage of rolling prior stuff into IRA instead of new jerb 401k is IRA has broader investment options

I'm a structural Engineer, pretty sure that's considered a 'professional' job that offers 'benefits' 🧐

Percentage based fees are terrible if you have any real money in the account. You are stuck with using whatever 401k provider your company uses until you are no longer with the company.

If you are just passively investing in index ETF's all the big names (fidelity, vanguard, etrade, schwab etc.) are going to be the same.

This is why we have periodic stories about the shockingly low average retirement account balance.

proles don't know you need to put your 401k money into 'stocks', they just keep it in the default money market fund.
